Shall we start voting at 25 and then stop at 45 maybe?
Then, of course, you have the fact that some people simply never develop effective reasoning abilities or skills at any age. Will we have a test?

Good point, and in a sort of related point it's the main reason professional video game players peak in their mid teens and retire in their early 20s (insert 'all young people do is play video games hahaha' stereotype here)..the peak age for mental strategy/reactions/capabilities is really young
